Leitão à Bairrada is a traditional Portuguese dish originating from the Bairrada region. It consists of a whole roasted piglet, typically seasoned with a mixture of garlic, salt, and spices. The dish is known for its crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat, making it a popular choice for festive occasions and family gatherings. The preparation of Leitão à Bairrada involves slow roasting the piglet in a wood-fired oven, which enhances its taste and texture. It is often served with sides like batatas fritas (fried potatoes) and salada (salad), and is commonly accompanied by a glass of Bairrada wine, known for its robust flavors.
